Other issues re valet parking - waited over 20 minutes for this and no other option to park car - but all in all I thought staff went out of their way to please. Would stay here again in a heartbeat - just fix the elevators!

9.3
Pros: For all of the times I've stayed here I've been able to get a private/detached balcony which makes it a little better than the shared ones. The beds have always been clean and comfortable. A City of Ottawa parking lot is only 100 m away for those with a vehicle taller than 6' 1". The staff has always been exceptional and friendly.

Pros: My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The market is within walking distance, there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. The room was small but well laid out and had all the comforts of home. It was a nice touch to have cream and milk for our morning coffee instead of powdered substitute and the bottle of cold water was well appreciated. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony. The breakfast was second to none and we left the table well fed and ready to continue our adventure. We will sure to be returning to this hotel when next we stay in Ottawa. The afternoon tea was a welcome surprise upon our arrival and was enjoyed.

Cons: air conditioning is terrible. in one room it was a mobile air conditioner that is tremendously noisy like a tractor. In the second room, was the only fan (it was a room without windows). The receptionist said that it's the only solution for every room.

Pros: Room had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, you could have as much as you wanted. Staff were very helpful. Location was good for sightseeing except for what happened below.
Cons: The first evening, looking out of our window across the road we saw the police and ambulance turn up for someone, who had obviously taken drugs. The same thing happened the next morning with what looked like the same person as well!! There were bushes across the road next to a building which is where this happened. It also looked like others were doing the same thing but no more police or ambulances came.

Room was messy and dirty pillow covers/bed sheets. Washroom was not in good shape; while checking-in at late night we had no water supply in washroom. So we tried to call reception but no phone available in room so i had to go from 14th floor to ground level for asking plumber service. My stay was horrible, i ask booking.com to look into this as this pictures & services are misleading for customers. I want my refund back otherwise i will update this on my forum letting other user know.

Pros: There was breakfast included? The location was perfect!
Cons: I found it difficult to find and I didn't realize you had to pay for parking, also the TV didn't work nor did the room key.

Pros: I liked the location. Also, the specific instructions by booking.com as to the room size, fridge, wi fi. air conditioning.
Cons: I didn t like the mattress the first night. It ruined my back & I had to go to the pharmacy to get medication. The mattress had broken coils which her my back. The only remedy was to turn the mattress so the bad coils were on the foot of the bed. Thank goodness that worked for the second & last night of our stay.
